ProSafe 16 AP Wireless Management System WMS5316 Reference Manual

To upgrade the access point software:

1. Go to the NETGEAR website at www.NETGEAR.com customer service downloads

section to get new versions of the access point software for supported models. After

downloading an upgrade file, you might need to unzip (uncompress) it before upgrading

the access point.

WARNING!

Once you click Upload, do not interrupt the process of sending

the software to the access point and restarting the access point.

2. Download the new software for a specific access point model to upgrade.

3. If not done automatically, uncompress the downloaded file. If included, read the Release

Notes before continuing.

4. On the Maintenance tab select Upgrade > Access Point Upgrade:

5. Make sure that status of the managed access point to be upgraded is healthy. Select the

managed access point model from the drop-down list; only models of managed access

points are in this list.

6. Click Browse.

7. Locate and select the file you just downloaded.

8. Click Upload to send the software to the access point.

This loads the new software into the access point and causes the access point to restart.

Note: Do not try to go online, turn off the access point, shut down the

computer or the wireless management system, or do anything else

to the access point or the wireless management system until the

access point finishes restarting! When the Test light turns off, wait a

few more seconds before doing anything.

9. Check the firmware version on upgrade screen to verify that your access point now has the

new software installed.
